I run out of ideas so fast, and then it affects my timing !!! and it's pretty damn annoying and frustrating.

Do any of you have any advises or lessons i could watch to help me with this, that would help me alot.

I've mentioned this before but I think it's important to mention. Blues is a vocabulary of licks. It's not just tasty, slower string bending although that is a part of it.

You'd mentioned that you run out of ideas. Learning the blues lick vocabulary is very important. Below is a link to Chris's intro to Blues licks:

A very good place to start to learn them.

You don't talk unless you have a vocabulary to do so. Slash has that vocabulary anduses it extensively and with his own (excellent) signature to it. If you want to get in to the realm of Slash's playing it is very important to know this stuff.

I'd also suggest listening to lots of Southern Rock from the 70's (Allman Bros, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Molly Hatchet). Those guys could play these licks for forever and a day and are a great point to see how it all loops together.

Once you get this background, you will understand why Slash plays the way he does. You can't work towards his style unless you go down the same roads.
